Chapter 59 Angry Rants
I'm ready for it, but I remain relaxed. I have no clue where this animosity (other than her normal being a bitch to me) is coming from. Is it really because a man was actually paying attention to me and completely ignored her? She's got a damn husband! She needs to get over herself! If she's tired of Jay (not that I could blame her for that) she should get a divorce!
"And just WHY would Thee Richard Kingston have anything to do with you?" she grounds out. "How did he even know you were here in the first place? He didn't even consider that he had the wrong place! He demanded to see you! In MY HOUSE!" she continued to rant.
I shrug my shoulders. Really, doesn't she ever get tired of starting fights? I swear one day she'll have a fight with herself She won't be able to win. A fleeting picture of her putting a gun to her head runs through my brain. It'll never happen. She loves herself way too much.
"Ask him! Leave me alone! I've got to get to work," I say trying to slide past her, but she shoves me up against the wall. Dammit! Now that headache I was trying to get rid of is back with full force.
This happens because she's bigger than me. Having a dancers body really doesn't do me any favors here. If I had been built like a body builder, I'd totally take her. She's weak, but she's got big bones.
"WHAT DOES HE WANT WITH YOU?!" she demands. "WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO HIM YOU SLUT? HE SAID IF YOU HAD BEEN SLEEPING AROUND, IT WOULD'VE BEEN WITH HIM! THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE!" she shouts into my poor ears.
Of course the bastard would have told her he'd be the one I was with! The thing is, I know he knows I'm a virgin! So what the hell, Rick? This did not help me in any way! But it did help to piss off my aunt, so I guess it's almost worth it.
Whiles she's ranting and so damn distracted with all these stupid accusations, I sweep my foot out, kicking her feet out from under her and causing her fall on her ass, and push her down with my foot. (When I was little I told Daddy about 'some bullying' from some boys in the 'neighborhood' and he showed me some very basic self-defense moves.)
"Your really want to know? He came her last night demanding that I marry him. Is that what you wanted to know? Does it make you happy?" I growl, pressing my whole weight down with my foot.
"Why would Richard Kingston wants a little nobody like you? You are nothing Josie! NOTHING!" Beth choked out, yelling at me like she expected me to believe the bull shit she just spewed. I don't.
"Well, it seems he has more than enough to money to take care of me and my sisters. He has his own place and his own job. He said he could take care of me. We would take me out of this hell you've put me through," I say as neutrally as possible.
"DON'T! HE CAN'T HAVE YOU! I'll give him AVA instead!" She screeches.
Okay, so now it's time for the little white padded room... "You are going to let your daughter, who isn't even 16 yet have Richard Kingston? I hate to break it to you, but he looked at her like all little brat," I smirk down, thinking back to the look on his face. I wish I'd taken a picture. It truly was priceless. "He is allowed to chose any damn woman he wants. And if he thinks he wants me, who are you to stop him from getting exactly what he wants?"
Okay, I still don't know if I'll end up with Rick. I just said that because I'm so sick of my aunt belittling me. She's such a fucking bitch and I really wanted to rub this in her rotten face.
"YOU AREN'T GOOD ENOUGH FOR A MAN LIKE HIM!" she screams.
I shrug my shoulders again, and shove off of her 'accidentally' kicking her in the ribs. "I wasn't the one who went after him Beth. I was still with James and he doesn't even give a damn. In fact he's been trying to get me to ditch the bastard, and I just might. I'd be so much better off with Rick!" I inform her, grabbing my purse and marching to the door.
"STICK WITH JAMES JOSIE! IF YOU GO AFTER RICHARD KIN-"
I slam the door on her face and walk out into the chilly wind.
If I do end up with Rick, I'll ask him to buy me a decent coat. It's the least he can do after all the hell he's put me through.
